[Verse 1]
The dogs are coming for my throat
Coast to coast, I'm rushing
God knows I'm gonna need something
Someone to tow me out the smoke
Before I choke
On counterfeit antidotes, I'm laughing
Deep diving, can't wash it off my skin
Caving, just keeping my
[Chorus]
Head out high waters
Down and out in the dust
Know it's never enough
Always just a little too
Late goin' under
Goin' out in the sun
Can't keep my head up, high waters
I'm low, just come
[Post-Chorus]
Waters, waters
Waters, keep my head up high
Waters, waters
Waters, keep my head up high
[Verse 2]
The sharks are closing in, I'm toast
Half afloat, I'm breaking
God knows I'm gonna need saving
So won't you drag me out of Hell?
Through the shadows, through the swirl
Brеak the spell I'm caught in
Deep diving, can't wash it off my skin
Wading, just keeping my
[Chorus]
Head out high watеrs
Down and out in the dust
Know it's never enough
Always just a little too
Late goin' under
Goin' out in the sun
Can't keep my head up, high waters
I'm low, just come in
[Bridge]
I'm low, just come in
[Chorus]
Just keeping my head out high waters
Down and out in the dust
Know it's never enough
Always just a little too
Late goin' under
Goin' out in the sun
Can't keep my head up, high waters
I'm low, just come
[Post-Chorus]
Waters, waters
Waters, keep my head up high (I'm low, just come in)
Waters, waters
Waters, keep my head up high

Mike Kerr:
“The imagery in it was really in sync with where I found myself—dipping below and above the surface. That appears throughout the whole album. It’s about saying it in a new way. This song is one of the only ones on the album where the music juxtaposes against the sentiment of the lyrics....
